British V8 2008

Offline
Has begun....tire kicking and lie swapping last night; tech sessions and a visit to Road America and an in-car track tour this afternoon.

Pics and verbiage to follow....
 
Today's tech sessions included a walking tour of B@D@SS, the big block Buick MGB/GT, as well as a mini-work session on it.

Off to Road America this afternoon where we watched the Porsche club have a track day; got a walking tour of the Control Room, the Press Room, and out onto the flag catwalk at the start/finish line. We watched a B-17 fly over the track as well!

We were all offered the opportunity to drive the 4 mile circuit...albeit behind a pace car...a very slooooooooooow pace car. (But it was still worth it!).

Then off to the village of Elkhart Lake and a visit to Siebkens Bar.

Tonight was a pizza/beer/pop party in the parking lot hosted by Ted Lathrop of Fast Cars, Inc...followed by an organizational meeting for Project B@D@SS.

More later!

Tomorrow we're headed over to the EAA museum near Oshkosh....then more tire kicking and lie swapping.

OK, the other stuff is cool and all.

But *that* is what I'd really like to be doing this Summer.....alas, no time and too far away.
 
Visitors to the EAA museum got quite a treat!

Flight simulators, opportunities to take rides in a 1930's bi-plane....their adrenal levels were quite high when they returned to the hotel.
